ScoreHelm's Hijri calendar countdown surfaces upcoming KSA shopping events — Ramadan, Eid Al-Fitr, Eid Al-Adha, Saudi National Day, White Friday — in both Hijri and Gregorian dates. Each event includes lead-time estimates so you can stock, source, and launch campaigns at the right moment for the Saudi market.

How it works

Three small but useful pieces of context, all in one widget.

  1. We track the KSA retail calendar

    ScoreHelm maintains a curated list of KSA shopping events — religious and secular — in both Hijri and Gregorian dates, refreshed yearly.

  2. Live countdown per event

    Each event shows the number of days remaining so the next big sales moment is always visible at the top of your dashboard.

  3. Lead-time guidance

    Every event includes a recommended lead time so you know when to start sourcing, when to stock up, and when to launch promotions.

Tracked events

The core KSA retail calendar — both religious dates that shift each year (Hijri-anchored) and fixed Gregorian dates.
